Raila's Epitaph: Inspired G7, Lost 5 to Become G1

They came breathing political fire and brimstone packaged as a potent G7. In no time the real owners G2 took charge and Kenyan politics has never been the same again ever since.

The mad season of political coalitions is here. The December 4, 2012 deadline promises to see to may political moves and counter mover Kenyans may as well be left in a delirium.

But one political fulcrum whose main joint has been left unhinged in PM Raila Odinga. The captain of is seeing the hitherto MV ODM capsizing faster than the might Titanic did exactly 100 year ago.

Not for lack of trying, far from it. Raila remains the most formidable politician in Kenya. But the sheen that madehim unbwogable in 2007 has come off.

Politics is a fickle game. So much perishable is politics that Raila cannot just recreate the superlative force he was in last elections. Maybe those who STOLE the elections from him knew that he never be the second time lucky.

Make no mistake, Raila's lack of grinding force does not necessarily translate into shoe-in for the Uhuruto victory. The coalition of the accused will soon come tumbling like the Tower of Babel. The ICC glue holding them together is like wax now that the new-found bravado is cheating them to fly near the sun.

The folly of making the next election a referendum on the ICC will backfire in all directions. Forget rants from cheap pundits always lurking online to pounce on breaking news with glee as analysis.

Make no mistake, no amount of political laundering will cleanse the evil duo from CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

Back to Raila. The son of Jaramogi would do himself a favour in retracing his steps. But again time is not on his side. The present business of cobbling tribal alliances will only succeed in polarizing Kenya more.

While Mudavadi has been left high and dry after being fooled to decamp from ODM, Kalonzo will never tire telling Kenyans they owe him plenty. So trinity vices of embarrassment, false pride and misplaced sense of entitlement will not see the birth of any formidable third force.

So as we polish Raila's political epitaph in golden letters, secure your vantage seat, fasten your straps and brace yourself for a long and eventful political duel in the next 100 days.

Kibaki Seals Statesman Legacy With Noble Launch

KUMEKUCHA would formally wish to go on record as extending an open apology to, and publicly retracting from our former harsh unwarranted opinion on the Kibaki Legacy. no hard feelings?

The formal opening of the state of the art million shilling Syokimau Train Station and rail service today proved H.E. P.O.R.K's critics are simply ethnic wanaNICHI who since 2002 remain visionLESS enslaved to small thinking and talk.

H.E. P.O.R.K. has never lost sight of his main agenda KAZI IENDELEE. Petty talk on elections next year, IDPs PEV, heightened national ethnic tension, I.C.C. etc all take a back seat to H.E.'s singular determination and steadfastness to steer Kenya to greener pastures as enumerated in vision 2030.

The essence of H.E.s presidency is evincing the political giraffe metaphor through actions that speak louder than words as only the best P.O.R.K ever could do. Such actions toasting leadership success from the front and by example have roped in Kenyans across the country to emotively chant "run for a 3rd term"! "run for a 3rd term"!

With the opening of the train line between Embakassi and the Central Business District, H.E.P.O.R.K has now not only left Kenyans cruising on the path of superhighway but also quaking in the wake of implemented radical and positive ideas whose time had come and was long past due. Make no mistake what one man does with his "half loaf " is another man's poison

The naysayers are now eating humble pie while exposing their post molars in delight from seeing the patient fruits of H.E.'s vision that could not fully be harvested as a one term presidency. The end has justified the means as Kenya full overtakes Singapore's GDP economyNA BADO
